[PATCH v2 2/4] NFSD: Replace RQ_SPLICE_OK in nfsd_read()

[Chuck Lever <cel@xxxxxxxxxx>]

From: Chuck Lever <chuck.lever@xxxxxxxxxx>

RQ_SPLICE_OK is a bit of a layering violation. Also, a subsequent
patch is going to provide a mechanism for always disabling splice
reads.

Splicing is an issue only for NFS READs, so refactor nfsd_read() to
check the auth type directly instead of relying on an rq_flag
setting.

The new helper will be added into the NFSv4 read path in a
subsequent patch.
